has it been that long??

I apologize for not keeping this site up to date! Maddie is now 14 weeks old and doing great. She had another stomache bug for 2 weeks but I took her to the pediatrician last week and no ear infection or anything like that. She's taking soy formula still so we're mixing it with the Enfamil we already had her on. Last week I was on vacation with my girls, after the weekend of the famous Angie/Tom Bell wedding! :) We went to Ohio to visit with Brian's family last weekend, too, which was nice.

Olivia is now potty trained, I can say pretty confidently :) An accident here and there, but she's doing great!!! We are so proud! She moved up to the Two Steps Up class at daycare and seems to have adjusted well, although she misses her bff, Abby! :(

my sick girls

Olivia is on amoxicillin as of Thurs. and her cough and runny nose is getting better. She had swollen glands and fluid behind both ears. Madison is another story, she's had a fever since Wednesday, although it has come down to between 100 and 101.7 in the last 24-48 hrs. We had her back at the doctors' office this morning because she seems to be very uncomfortable when you move her or pick her up, even hard to get a burp. The blood and urine tests came back negative so we're just waiting it out...she has some sort of virus and has vomited a couple times since yesterday morning. She's still eating, just not as much as normal, and has wet diapers so they are good things. Will keep updated...

@ her 1 mo. check up, little Maddie weighed 11 lbs and measured 21 1/2 inches! She's a growing girl! We call her our "chunky monkey" now. I take her to daycare w/Olivia starting Monday, the 10th...boo hoo hoooooo

Maddie

On the 9th, Madison weighed 7 lb 13oz, and she's probably 9 lb now, I'd guess! She still eats very well and we're starting to give her bottles of formula once or twice a day to give me a break.

Olivia has been doing wonderful around her little sis...she helps me with diapers, burpcloths, and really genuinely shows that she loves her so much. It's adorable!

home and happy

Things are going good, just a little sleep deprived! :) Madison is a great eater and keeps me awake most of the night! I'm trying to take naps during the day when she does so I can keep my eyes awake during feedings! She is a total doll baby and seems to really love her new home here in the big world she was born into a week ago yesterday. We are on cloud 9 and just enjoying time with our new bundle of joy.

Her weight check upon leaving the hospital July 1st was 6 lb 15 oz, then two days later was 7 lbs even. We go again on Thursday the 9th to make sure she's still gaining.
